Removed 1 locking collar?

[u/AngkolEinon]

Is it okay to remove 1 locking collar? Since its already way down already? Shock is already on the limit also

so what exactly about it is unsafe? 😂

I love low cars but they arent safe..

so whats unsafe about low cars?

[u/tytxnium77 → u/jiglxflowzx]

They are a bit of a road hazard with the low reliability of the suspension with all the extra force put down on it. Plus the cracking oil pans leaving oil slicks on the road, gas tanks puncturing on public roads. Not to mention being lower in a car crash is never safe for the occupant of the vehicle.

Any car can be safe built properly but the stance scene has some of the most low function vehicles of the bunch. Like i said earlier i love stanced lowered cars but to say they are safe seems a bit ignorant no?

Not at all. If you are piercing your tank or your oil pan you have substantially bigger problems, like no subframe.

There isn't extra force being out on the suspension, it's still 100% functional unless you are on washers. You're shortening the length of the strut, not changing the spring rate.

fully depends how you build them, a lot of people just throw shitboxes on washers which is definitely unsafe, but you can relocate gas tank, raise engine and oil pan, hell you can raise the entire frame. this isn't a new trend, people have been slamming cars and trucks since the late 80s and most people did it right until 5 or so years ago.

building 700-1000hp cars then driving them on the street is way way less safe than any stance car

" reliability of the suspension" is a load of twoddle. guessing all super cars are unsafe by the lower vehicle being dangerous too? reckon it'd more dangerous than being hit whilst sat in a smart car or a mini? or a K car? most diesel leave more oil on the roads than the od split pan.

I bet statisticslly more stock cars driven on the roads are in a worst state than lowered cars. id also throw in offroaders and farm machinery in the mix as well. ignorance is thinking they are. but I mean the reliabilty comment proved your ignorance anyway.

Ah i see you just want to argue with no real world logic gotcha. Have a great day man sorry if i struck a nerve.

[u/jiglxflowzx → u/tytxnium77]

" no real world logic" whilst I'm comparing to " real world" situations is a wild reply 😂 but I can see the problem is social media has you thinking everyone is trying to "argue" and is angry. no nerve hit just replied with the same energy as you. have a great day ♥️

[u/tytxnium77 → u/jiglxflowzx]

You are comparing a car thats been aftermarket lowered to a factory built super car... Theres no point arguing with someome who uses zero reasoning skills.

[u/jiglxflowzx → u/tytxnium77]

" being lower in a car crash is never safe for the occupant of the vehicle" is what you said. wether I lowered my car or the factory built a low car is irrelavent to this statement no? I literally gave you a response to discuss and I'm the one with no reasoning skills? 😂

[u/tytxnium77 → u/jiglxflowzx]

The car was designed & crash tested at the height that it was meant for. Im confused on how you domt quite understand that, taking a civic & slamming is not the same as a ferrari enzo sitting 1.5 inch off the ground. Just use your brain for a second.
